Show Me God

I fumbled across it, 
whilst tunnelling under a tree
The one superfluous atom,
left over from reality 
Now positioned straight ahead, 
looking directly into me
Emerging from some quanta,
imperceptible yet I can see
The missing nucleus of balance, 
and pinnacle of all belief 

No evidence required 
No probability, 
No examination
No stewards inquiry,
No foggy darkness 
In absolute clarity,

Came from before the beginning, 
to remain when everything ends
Past present and future, 
in the same uninterrupted tense
Oh one superfluous atom, 
creates an omnipresent sense 
Continuums of structure expand,
simultaneously as they condense
Equilibrium could only arrive,
when this surplus atom went 

I wish I may 
I wish I might 
today’s the day 
I’ve seen your light 
Superfluous atom
grant my wish tonight 

Giving me this moment, 
I’d longed since being born 
Banished all misconception, 
taking away my thorn
Drew back deaths curtain, 
opening every possible dawn
Spacetime unwinds, 
into a smooth universal lawn
At last I can see beyond, 
even the Big Bang is gone 

Eternity vanquished 
Infinity overcome 
Barriers relinquished 
Perpetuity’s done
Theories extinguished 
Equations equal none

All because one superfluous atom,
chose to remain alone 
This God particle, self evicted, 
so our space could be freely grown

Sotto Poet Date: 1/24/2022 1:43:00 PM David, you've written some thoughtful and thought-provoking poems. We need to start problems and suggestions for a focus group. If we do not believe in a higher power, we may want to explore meditating on and sustaining our spirituality. Our fire's ignitor. Our ideas, ambitions, and goals might have turned Destiny away from us. Returning to Righteousness begins with being entirely truthful about our thoughts, feelings, and actions—best wishes for the contest.

Tom Cunningham Date: 1/24/2022 11:03:00 AM Thought provoking verse David, I wonder if they'll ever find it, at one time Cern featured regularly on the news but haven't heard hide nor hair of them for years. I remember one of their experiments through up an analomy and they thought physics would have to be rewritten, turns out it was just a glitch. Good luck in the contest.
